Data from records of patients with asthma and rhinitis in the Rhode Island [USA] Hospital Adult Allergy Clinic and in an adult allergy private practice were reviewed. The frequency of nasal polyps in the total population of 4986 was 4.2%; in the asthmatic portion the population the frequency was 6.7% and in the rhinitis alone group the frequency was 2.2%. Asthmatics with negative allergy skin tests to inhalant allergers had significantly more nasal polyps than asthmatics with positive skin tests, 12.5% vs. 5.0% P < 0.01. The frequency of nasal polyps increased with advancing years. Of the total 211 cases of nasal polyps, 7 had asthma and 29% had rhinitis alone. Also, 14% of the patients with nasal polyps had aspirin intolerance, primarily of the bronchospastic type. In addition, 1051 patients with asthma and rhinitis from the Pediatric Allergy Clinic with a mean age of 6 yr were similarly evaluated. Only 1 (0.1%) of these pediatric patients had nasal polyps.
